Detroit starter Martin Bird pitched well against the Louisville Colts at Derby Grounds. The right-hander led his team to a win, 4-3. The Sturgeons have a one-game lead in the Federal League.

Joe Cavender, who led the FL in stolen bases with 31 in 1885, had a direct impact on the outcome. Cavender contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Detroit up, 4-0.

Cavender attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
